The Body Shop - advent calendars

Gift packaging design - London 2017 

When I first came to freelance at The Body Shop I met Stephen Henthorne the head of packaging and I asked: since these are christmas gifts should I stick to green, red and gold? And he replied: oh no darling, the rainbow is yours. It was love at first click. We worked together on creating 120+ SKUs for the xmas gifts of 2017 but my favourite designs were these 4 advent calendars. The theme was to celebrate christmas as if it were 1976 when The Body Shop was founded by Dame Anita Roddick and to avoid a lot of waste the advent calendar could also be used as a game, a quiz and a puzzle. Fun gift, fun brief.
